When Destiny Says Another
Chapter 29 Orphanage
"Move on Za does not mean forgetting, but rather making up with all the memories and memories that occur. Namely that all the things that happened in the past contain learning so that we no longer feel pain when remembering it"
"Life lessons are a wonderful gift from the journey. However, that lesson does not always come through happiness, joy, and laughter."
"We will also receive life lessons through grief, sorrow, and tears. Sometimes, we learn through tests and challenges that will make us fight and work hard."
"In the end, it will make us understand the meaning of life. Maybe not now, but as time goes on, as we get older, we will become 'smartter' in living this school of life." Said Eka, who was trying to open talks to Reza. Because from that time at school to the journey to the orphanage, Reza did not speak a word at all. Reza, who heard her best friend Eka speak, only glanced for a moment while trying to digest all the words that came out of Eka's mouth earlier.
Today is the schedule to visit the Orphanage of Children and Toddlers 'Bina Insan'. After one week all students and students are asked to set aside their rezekies either in the form of items needed by the Panti, such as diapers, baby porridge, rice, baby food, child snack, baby food, Baby and child clothes and also in the form of money for the survival of the Panti, such as paying for electricity and PDAM water usage.
An orphanage is a social welfare institution that has the responsibility to provide social welfare services to displaced children by carrying out the assistance and alleviation of abandoned children, providing physical, mental, and substitute services, and social in foster children, so as to obtain a more decent life.
Usually, children who live in orphanages are also often adopted by married couples who want to add new family members in their homes.
In addition, the orphanage is also often a place for people to have enough to do charity.
Riska and Zia were very happy to be able to visit the Orphanage. Zia who was initially confused because of her intention to contribute, thank God through the permission of Zia God can finally contribute.
The purpose of the school to visit the Orphanage is to make the child's vision wide open. That life does not only contain pleasure and hurrah. They will become simpler and not just demand a vacation to expensive tourist attractions. Today many concerns arise, children no longer have empathy for others.
Activities that will later be held at Orphanage, namely Social and Religious Activities, such as studying, playing with Orphanage Children, sharing Science and important materials, such as teaching and learning, sharing parcels according to the needs of Orphanage Children.
Finally arrived our bus group in front of the Orphanage 'Bina Insan'. We have all been welcomed by the caretakers of the Orphanage and the children of the Orphanage. After the previous Mr. Headmaster we first talked with the Head of Orphanage, began the first formal event, namely a greeting from the Head of Orphanage 'Bina Insan' namely Ibu Santi Almaira.Kemudan continued the speech of our Principal, namely Mr. Rahmat Wijaya, and further prayer reading by our Teacher of Religious Education, namely Mr. Shalehudin. Then the symbolic handover of donations by the Headmaster to the Head of Orphanage.
Get into the core event, which shows the abilities and talents of the children in the Orphanage. There are children who read poetry, for those who read this poem read by a child named Rose aged 6 years, Rose read the poem 'Mother'
Mothers…
This is where I write about you
For nine months you have been holding me
Without feeling tired, tired you always patiently guide me
With love and affection
Mothers…
Thank you for giving birth to me in this world
Rose read the poem from the beginning with full of appreciation even his eyes look teary until there are tears that drip and make all who hear his poetry come to dissolve feel the meaning of his cry. How the Rose does not cry, the Rose recites a poem about the Mother, the Rose herself never knows who the Mother and the father are, the Rose herself does not know the taste of the caress of a mother's affection, because the Roses have been deposited in the Panti from the baby.
Then there are those who sing, whose names are Lala and Akmal. Lala is 3 years old while Akmal is 6 years old, Lala and Akmal are brothers and sisters of traffic accident victims, their mother and father died on the spot, originally Lala and Akmal were treated by Om and Tanteenya, but over time because of economic turmoil, while Om and Tantenya also still have to support the other four children, as well, finally, with the weight of Lala and Akmal's heart were entrusted to Orphanage to get a better life.
Lala and Akmal sang a song called 'Little Star',
A little star in the high sky
Lots of space decorating
I want to fly and dance
Far away to where you are.
Child songs of all time, the lyrics are fun, the tone is simple, and the message is strong. A song that tells about the beauty of the universe and the majesty of God and as a child's fantasy of the world and the ideals of the future.
Lala and Akmal then asked everyone in the hall to sing along. Though the song sung children's songs but it turns out almost everything in the room memorized with the song.
Next appearance of the Echoes. Gema is a boy who was abandoned by his mother in Panti because he had to become TKW in Arabia, while his father ran away from nowhere. Echoes only 3 years old, he will read the story about 'The amazing little beast', all in the hall also listened carefully to the story that was delivered full of the appreciation.
The echoes tell us that bees are small insects that benefit humans and are one of the animals created by God who always obeys the commands of his Lord. This honey-producing insect is often used as a prayer person, where it takes the good and brings out the good as well. Even in the Qur'an the name of the bee is used as the name of the letter, namely Surat An Nahl.
The last appearance of a 5-year-old child but already has memorization of the Qur'an 2 juz. His name is Khairunisa or commonly called Ica by all the residents of Panti. Ica recited Surat An Naba verses 1 to 5 without opening the Mushaf of the Qur'an.
Bismilbornrahmanirrahim
Anin-nabaa-il 'azim
Allazi hum fiihi mukh talifuun
Kallaa sa y'alamuun
Thumma kallaa sa y'alamuun
And next to Ica there is Fauzan or commonly called Ojan, the age is also only 5 years, Ojan will read the translation of the letter that had been read by Ica
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful
What are they wondering about each other?
About the great news (day of resurrection),
in that they are at odds.
Nah! They will know later,
again not! They will know later.
Ica who became a tilawah and Ojan who became a saritilawah even though he was 5 years old, but Ica can chant his verse melodiously and so Ojan read the translation of his letter with full appreciation, making everyone present there without feeling his eyes glazed over even some shed tears. Including Riska and Zia, they are proud to see Ica and Ojan have managed to perform in front of the crowd without any nervousness though. He was only 5 years old and they both grew up without the affection of mother and father, but that doesn't mean they can't grow up like other children, even they even live in the Panti can still be a Qur'an memorizer.
After everyone had shown their best, all the children who had appeared earlier gathered in front of the hall to say their greetings, and suddenly they all ran towards the seat of the School student and hugged one of the schoolgirls from School X, she said, one by one of them then took turns to kiss the back of the hand of the schoolgirls and even the Panti boy named Mutiara or who was familiarly called with Muti asked to be carried by the schoolgirl. This scene made the school and students from School X surprised and curious why all the Panti children ran towards the schoolgirls. Yep... Risk the figure that the children turn to.
*flasback*
Bina Insan Orphanage is Orphanage where the Prasetyo Family often visit here, not only donating their provisions but also invite the children to play, teach them to read writing and pay. Some even financed the school by Papa Pras.
Two days before school x visit to this orphanage, Riska and her family visited here. Then Riska had said to the Panti administrators about the school that will visit this Orphanage, Riska requested that the orphanage administrators do not have to tell the school about the role of Riska or her family in the Orphanage. Riska also did not tell the Orphanage children that she would later be among the school group x.
But it turns out, when School Group X arrives, Nazmi is assigned by his friends to check if there is a Riska among the group, Nazmi captures the figure of Riska when he just got off the bus and Nazmi immediately reports to his friends. All the Orphanage children were very happy when Nazmi said that Riska was among the group, then for the children who were part to perform they all discussed and planned to give their best performances, he said, in order to make Riska proud and they also have a surprise plan for Riska.
Their plans were all successful, they all managed to appear stunning, an audible applause was given to all of them. Then they all could not bear the longing to meet a figure who was always laughing, friendly and loving when teaching them, then the Orphanage children immediately scattered towards Riska. Riska was initially shocked when she saw them all running towards her and immediately hugging and one by one taking turns kissing the back of Riska's hand, then Riska crouched down to hug them all and held Muti who immediately raised both hands asking to be carried by Riska. Muti or the full name is the son of Orphanage Bina Insan which is indeed the name Riskaalah who gave him. At that time, 3 years ago there was a red baby in the box that was placed in front of the Orphanage door, no matter who kept it there, who kept it, it was later found by one of the caretakers and brought inside to be cleaned. When the Prasetyo family came, Shanty's mother then told him about the baby that had been found in the box this morning, then they all saw the baby. The beautiful innocent baby, then somehow Riska wanted to hold the baby, when in the Deck Riska the baby felt very comfortable, then started Riska calling the baby by the name of Pearl, Pearl, because seeing the baby is a symbol of purity, confidence, innocence, and integrity. Mother Panti heard the name Riska pinned for the baby and agreed if the baby was named Pearl.
*flashback off*
Then the Orphanage children pulled Riska's hand forward. Inevitably Riska timidly advanced forward, while passing through the teachers and principals Riska bowed her head, and when Riska was in front still with Muti in her arms, a boy named Nana talks through a microphone.
"Assalamu'alaikum Mr. Ibu kaka-kaka all of you"
"Maybe you all know what the name is in front of you all"
"But there's something else you definitely don't know about, yeah... Ka Riska this is our dear Kaka, Ka Riska is always present for us, teach us many things with affection, Ka Riska has always been a story place for all of us to complain, Ka Riska always happy storytelling for all of us, Ka Riska can always make us laugh and surely Ka Riska always buy us our favorite foods all the children of Panti"
"Thank you Ka Riska, we all love Ka Riska" Nana said as her hand shrunk the sign of affection for Riska.
Riska could not say anything more, her eyes were filled with happy tears, happy to get a surprise from the Orphanage children who turned out without Riska guessing they all knew Riska's presence there.
Principal Riska, namely Pa Rahmat and Wali Riska class, Ibu Meffi, and the teachers who attended there plus all the students of school x were surprised by what was conveyed by Nana, because all this time they didn't know about it. Even when Meffi's mother asked the class 'who likes to visit the Orphanage', Riska kept quiet and answered nothing. Principle of Risk, if the question asked is related to the lesson and he knows the answer, then he will answer, but if the question is outside the lesson, then he chooses silence. Especially if it is related to alms, if giving something to a person in need secretly, then it is more important than blatantly. Appearing alms is allowed as long as the purpose is imitated by others. While hiding alms is better than showing it, if it appears it can cause riya in the giver and can also hurt the person given.
All the things that have just happened are not out of Reza's sight. Reza who daritadi chose more silence, Suddenly engraved a smile on his face. Moreover, seeing Riska surrounded by Orphanage children and seeing Riska holding a small child in the Panti, Reza's heart felt shady. Reza is amazed by Riska. It seemed like there was a lot Reza had to dig out about Riska, because everything about Riska always interested him.
"Zp... Riska fits well carrying that child, aja nempel child with her, let alone your child later Za" said Eka with a smile when saying it.
Reza did not answer any of Eka's words, Reza just digested Eka's words. Finally, after everything interacted for a moment with the entire Orphanage, it was time to leave. All the Orphanage residents sent back the school X group until their bus was no longer visible.
